Well I removed the B+M and put the stock shifter back in...
 

And I love it! The B+M was not for me - way too notchy and short. The stock shifter's throws are very long, but it's so much nicer to work than the B+M was.

One problem: I am missing a piece from the factory shifter. It's a small plastic bushing that attaches to the gate selector ball on the side of the shift lever. Anyone have this piece from their stock shifter that they're willing to give up?
